Standing Silence
Standing in silence,
without a sound.
Remaining aside
or in the background.
Not saying a word
for all of these years.
To scared to speak up
because of my fears.
I knew how you felt
or thought I did.
It's hard for me now
to live what I hid.
When you didn't know
I watched on with ease.
Now that you do
I'm down on my knees.
My structure is shaken
my world had been fried.
I won't last much longer
I'm burning inside.
The thing that I need
is an answer from you.
It's all that I want
to restart anew.
If you have told me
and I didn't know.
Please tell me now
before I let go.
Once I am told
be it yes or no and sit.
Please just know
that I can take it.
I am a fighter
my spirit is strong.
despite what you say
you'll never be wrong.
I'm sure that your sick
of this run around.
I'd rather be silent
and not make a sound.
